- I've emailed HN's mods requesting Twitter/X links be site-banned as hard-paywalled, given that Nitter and XCancel had also just received C&Ds (<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49437283>).by dredmorbius

- This was obviously going to happen once Nitter got an immediate C&D.
It just means that it will happen to these alternatives as well and the lawyers have all the money from X Corp to do just that.
These open source projects circumventing X for free, unfortunately have zero chance in fighting these legal takedowns.

- For HN, does that mean we should no longer be using X links, since most can't view them?by Kim_Bruning
